@munin OK that's hilarious. I can take an educated guess on what happened based on the fact that numbers are actually said in Spanish. The English text must have been routed to the Spanish tts. Unsure if they thought the service should auto translate it (which would have its own accessibility issues since you really want a certified translator with domain knowledge to actually do that kind of thing) or if it just a typo (es->en) but either way its obvious that absolutely no one did any kind of QA on it. Not even a simple smoke test.

This made my week
@tante @grrrr_shark and the better you are in the foreign language, the worse it gets because people don't have that subconscious "oh this is their 2nd language. I better speak simply" trigger.
Paul Taylor has a great bit about this (Warning: strong language in both English and French. You can turn on translated CC if you don't speak French)
@Nonilex If I saw that in a dystopian movie, I would critique it as a little too on-the-nose. And yet... Here we are.
@Viss @briankrebs unsure on the first question. But come on. You already know the answer to the last 2.
@briankrebs Not gunna lie. I did NOT expect this kind of rationality from the current supreme court. Its refreshing. Dare I get my hopes up for logical decisions that have a basis in reality in the future? (Probably not. But one can dream.)
I have an idea for a project, but hoping to get more info about what might already exist.
Are there any open source, completely community-driven, public data, CTI-like systems or platforms out there? I am not looking for a TIP, but something that focuses on aggregating sources and constructing complex relationships.
I don't have (m)any followers here yet, so boosts are appreciated.
@deneb does that mean cameras are a form of DAC? 🤔
@float13 corn based ethanol is kind of that right? Just with a bunch more steps.
@FritzAdalis @cR0w @da_667 well what you really need is one source of truth that manages everything. Here buy my tool that is better than all the rest and can do that.
*2 years and hundreds of thousands of dollars later* we now have 7 source of truth asset management systems partially implemented.

Me learning about "Grandfather clauses" in Jim crow era voting restrictions: "wow that was so obviously and transparently discriminatory. Good thing that sort of thing could never happen now a days"
Oh to be so naïve ....
@catsalad When you fall down those stairs, will it sound like... Rock and roll ?
@0xabad1dea as someone who uses discord mostly as IRC but with emojis and images... What *are* the main reasons people use discord? Like this seems like there should be so many open alternatives, but I'm obviously missing something.
@SeanCasten oh no. Nena tried to warn us about this decades ago! https://youtu.be/hiwgOWo7mDc
